WAR  WORK  NUMBER 

Published  Quarterly  by  the  State  Normal  School 


Entered  as  Second  Class  Matter,  September  17,  1913,  at  the 
Postoffice  at  Minot,  North  Dakota,  under  Act 
of  Congress  of  August  24,  1912. 


ACTING  PRESIDENT  WM.  F.  CLARKE 


MHUi 


PRESIDENT  A.  G.  CRANE 


. President  Crane  had  planned  to  return  to  Minot  and  re- 
sume his  duties  at  the  State  Normal  School  with  the  opening 
of  the  Fall  Term.  The  latter  part  of  August,  however,  the 
Surgeon  General  of  the  United  States  Army  asked  the  State 
Board  of  Regents  to  extend  President  Crane’s  leave  of  ab- 
sence for  another  year  in  order  that  he  might  continue  in 
war  services  at  Washington  Teachers  College  of  Columbia 
University,  where  President  Crane  was  pursuing  a course 
of  study,  sent  him  in  July  to  the  Walter  Reed  Hospital  at 
Washington  to  assist  in  organizing  , the  re-education  work 
for  disabled  soldiers  which  the  United  States  government  is 
establishing  in  that  and  various  other  military  hospitals. 
He  proved  to  be  so  well  fitted  for  this  work  that  the  Sur- 
geon-General desired  to  continue  him  in  the  service.  The 
Board  of  Regents,  tho  reluctant  to  lose  the  services  of  Presi- 
dent Crane  at  the  Normal  School  at  Minot,  felt  that  they 
should  honor  the  request  of  the  Surgeon-General  and  ac- 
cordingly extended  President  Crane’s  leave  of  absence  for 
another  year. 

President  Crane  will  be  employed  in  the  Surgeon-General’s 
office  at  Washington,  and  will  hold  the  rank  of  Major. 
He  will  continue  to  assist  in  the  organization  and  develop- 
ment of  the  re-education  work  in  the  various  military  hos- 
pitals of  the  United  States.  This  experience  will  be  of  great 
value  to  President  Crane  and  the  Minot  Normal  will  profit 
greatly  from  his  experience  upon  his  return.  He  will  be  in 
Minot  for  the  opening  of  the  Fall  Term  and  for  some  weeks 
previous,  organizing  and  starting  the  work  of  the  school  for 
the  year.  He  plans  also  to  return  to  the  school  from  time 
to  time  during  the  year  and  so  exercise  a general  oversight 
over  its  affairs.  During  his  absence  the  school  will  con- 
tinue in  charge  of  Acting  President  Wm.  F.  Clarke. 

ACTING  PRESIDENT  WM.  F.  CLARKE 

To  Acting  President  Wm.  F.  Clarke  belongs  the  credit 
of  carrying  the  work  of  the  Normal  School  forward  with 
marked  success  from  the  time  of  his  appointment  in  April. 
Students  and  faculty  alike,  have  given  him  unstinted  loyalty 
and  support  in  all  measures  which  he  initiated  for  the  good 
of  the  school.  The  marked  success  of  the  Summer  Session 
just  closing  is  due  in  large  measure  to  President  Clarke’s  un- 
tiring efforts,  painstaking  care  and  foresight.  He  has  been 
foremost  in  all  the  plans  and  policies  of  the  school  where 
patriotic  service  could  be  rendered.  It  is  altogether  fitting 
therefore,  that  this  issue  of  the  Bulletin  with  its  resume 
of  the  various  war  activities  of  the  school  be  dedicated  to 
him.

CHARACTERS 

WANT A tall,  cadaverous  looking  fellow  dressed  in  black 

AMERICA A girl,  strong,  healthy,  full  of  energy 

EUROPE On  crutches,  looks  frail  and  forlorn 

WHEAT A buxom  lassie 

CORN A girl,  full  of  health  and  vigor  with  golden  hair 

FATS A large  girl,  brimful  of  good  nature 

COTTON A blonde,  who  has  some  stability  in  her  make-up 

BEEF A substantial  looking  fellow

SUGAR A nice  looking  girl,  with  simple  manner 


WANT  EJECTED 

(WANT  is  alone  on  the  stage  and  comes  from 
a dark  corner  into  view.) 

WANT.  I am  WANT.  I am  sorrow,  tribulation  and  Death 
itself.  I alone  defeated  Sennachrib  in  the  night.  I was  co- 
partner with  Nicias  and  none  of  the  Greeks  returned  home. 
Hand  in  hand  Hannibal  and  I went  through  Italy,  and  even 
Rome  trembled.  I,  followed  by  the  Roman  Legion,  con- 
quered the  whole  world.  My  black  hand  extended  over 
the  whole  of  Europe  and  the  British  Isles  in  the  day  of  the 
Black  Prince  and  people  despaired.  Ah,  that  was  a feast! 
(Laughs.)  It  makes  me  happy  to  think  of  following  Na- 
poleon out  of  Russia.  My  hunger  has  never  been  satisfied. 
Even  now  I satiate  in  the  blood  of  the  Belgians  by  thous- 
ands, Armenians  by  the  hundreds  of  thousands,  and  help- 
less children  by  the  millions.  Kings  and  Czars  and  Kaisers 
are  my  strong  right  arm.  I spare  neither  Hun  nor  Christ- 
ian. What  is  to  stop  me  from  passing  another  Black  Hand 
over  the  whole  world? 

(Enter  Miss  America  with  Miss  Europe  on 
crutches  at  her  side.) 

AMERICA.  Who’s  talking  here? 

WANT.  What  is  to  stop  me  from  passing  another  Black 


G 


STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


Hand  over  the  whole  world? 

AMERICA.  I can  stop  you.  (WANT  makes  for  AMERICA, 
but  she  stands  firm.)  Who  are  you? 

WANT.  I am  WANT.  I am (Stops  short.) 

EUROPE.  I have  known  that  fellow  for  years  and  it  makes 
me  tremble  to  see  him.  The  past  four  years  he  has  de- 
vastated my  vineyards,  my  fields,'  and  my  cities.  He  fol- 
lowed the  Huns  when  they  came  with  intrigue,  lying  and 
hate.  Through  them  he  has  starved  our  prisoners  and  slain 
innocent  children  and  helpless  old  men  and  women  at  home. 
WANT,  you  are  exhausting  our  resources  and  extending 
your  black  hand  over  us.  (Turns  to  AMERICA.)  Is  there 
no  one  to  help  us  ? 

AMERICA.  I will  protect  you.  The  wealth  of  the  nation 
is  at  your  command. 

EUROPE.  Can  your  billions  of  dollars  help  me  in  my  need? 

AMERICA.  I have  friends  more  powerful  than  dollars  who 
will  help. 

EUROPE.  Will  they  help  me,  too? 

AMERICA.  Yes,  they  will  help  both  of  us.  I will  call  them 
and  introduce  them  to  you,  (Enter  WHEAT.)  Here  is 
my  truest  friend,  WHEAT,  from  the  great  prairies  of  the 
west.  Her  arms  are  filled  for  your  hungry  children.  She 
will  go  to  your  bake  shops  and  fill  your  shelves.  Here 
comes  my  most  jovial  friend,  FATS.  She  never  is  cold- or 
cross.  She  will  give  of  her  abundance.  She  will  not  only 
feed  your  starving  children,  but  will  lend  her  aid  in  manu- 
facturing munitions  to  repel  the  horrible  Hun.  And  here 
is  a friend  who  will  give  heart  to  the  hosts  of  Old  England. 
Many  a victory  has  been  won  on  the  good  old  roast  BEEF 
of  England.  So,’  here  is  a promise  of  certain  defeat  of 
WANT.  This  is  my  sweetest  friend,  SUGAR.  We  have 
been  selfish  and  kept  this  fair  maiden  for  ourselves,  but 
now  we  will  divide. 

WANT.  You  will  never  win  by  these  poor  friends.  I have 
beaten  them  before. 

AMERICA.  Ah!  there  you  are  wrong.  I can  win  with  these 
friends  for  now  we  are  working  together.  Never  before 
have  we  worked  in  unison  and  conserved  our  strength.  We 
have  wasted  that  power  in  the  past,  but  now  we  are  pro- 
tecting it.  Those  who  do  not  save,  are  your  friends, 
WANT.  They  are  the  friends  of  the  Hun  and  not  of 
America. 

EUROPE.  But  what  are  you  going  to  do  if  they  come  to  me  ? 

AMERICA.  I have  many  more  awaiting  to  do  my  bidding. 
Come  friends.  (Enter  CORN,  BEANS  and  COTTON.) 
Here  is  golden  haired  CORN,  a true  born  AMERICAN. 
Her  home  has  been  for  centuries  on  the  great  plains  that 
border  the  father  of  waters.  Now  she  is  serving  us  in  her 
full  strength  and  she  alone  is  capable  of  furnishing  suf- 
ficient food  for  every  man,  woman  and  child  in  this  great 
country.  Yes,  there  is  almost  a ton  of  corn  for  every  one

of  us.  (EUROPE  shakes  hands  with  CORN.)  This  is  my 
very  good  friend  COTTON.  We  have  gone  thru  the  trials 
and  triumps  of  a hundred  years  and  our  friendship  has 
grown  and  strengthened.  COTTON,  too,  with  her  great 
record,  has  exceeded  her  proudest  days.  COTTON,  we 
will  use  you  here  for  clothing,  for  oils,  for  fats,  for 
strengthing  the  soil  and  for  making  munitions.  BEANS, 
I am  glad  to  meet  you.  You  have  been  known  in  every 
land  and  by  every  people  since  the  days  of  Adam.  For 
you,  Esau  bartered  his  birthright. 

(Side  show,  children  spatting  for  Bean 
Porridge  Hot,  etc.) 

WHEAT.  How  are  we  going  to  help  fight  the  Battle  of  the 
Nations?  I am  ready  to  go  where  I am  needed. 

CORN.  I,  too,  am  ready  to  help  bring  Democracy  to  the 
world;  in  the  Battle  of  the  Nations.  Where  may  I go? 

ALL.  We  are  all  ready  to  do  something  for  a World  De- 
mocracy. 

AMERICA.  EUROPE,  you  choose  the  friends  that  will  help 
you  the  most. 

EUROPE.  WHEAT,  you  come  with  me.  My  people  know 
you  and  it  will  give  them  courage  to  think  that  you  are 
with  us. 

AMERICA.  Well,  I’ll  take  CORN.  CORN  has  given  me 
strength  and  power.  (Looks  toward  WANT.)  Isn’t  that 
so  WANT?  (Turns  to  EUROPE.)  Your  choice,  EUROPE. 

EUROPE.  I’ll  take  FATS,  a source  of  energy  for  my  people. 

AMERICA.  Come  with  me,  COTTON.  We  have  had  trials 
and  tribulations,  joys  and  sorrows  together.  I can’t  let  you 
go.  When  FATS  are  away  the  oils  of  human  kindness  come 
from  you. 

EUROPE.  I’ll  take  BEEF.  BEEF  will  give  strength  and 
sinew  to  our  legions. 

AMERICA.  Here,  BEANS,  come  to  my  side.  We  know  each 
other  well,  and  you  have  helped  us  before.  Go  on  EUROPE. 

EUROPE.  Come,  SUGAR.  Come  with  me.  Our  armies 
need  heat  and  energy  and  you  know  how  to  furnish  these 
things.  (The  two  groups  are  arranged  around  AMERICA 
and  EUROPE.)  Well,  AMERICA,  I thank  you  for  your 
kindness  and  great  generosity  toward  all  who  are  op- 
pressed. 

AMERICA.  EUROPE,  we  are  only  paying  our  debt  to  you. 
You  gave  us  our  laws  and  institutions.  We  have  taken 
them  and  fashioned  an  abiding  democracy. 

EUROPE.  AMERICA,  you  have  taught  us  many  things 
and  the  greatest  of  these  are  your  democratic  ideals.  May 
we  soon  have  them  planted  in  every  Nation.  (Turns  and 
sees  WANT.)  WANT,  are  you  still  here?  Begone,  you 
Hun!  (EUROPE  throws  her  crutches  at  WANT.)  Come, 
let’s  go.  I feel  my  strength  is  the  strength  of  ten  with 
these  good  friends  at  my  side.  (Exit.)

STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


BUDDY’S  BIT 

A children’s  play  in  three  acts. 

This  playlet  requires  about  twelve  or  fifteen  minutes  in 
presentation.  It  was  written  by  sixth  grade  pupils  of  the 
Training  School  of  the  Minot  State  Normal,  with  the  help 
of  their  teacher  and  the  director  of  physical  education.  It  was 
made  a part  of  the  regular  work  in  language,  and  was  pre- 
sented as  a part  of  the  Play  Day  exercises,  May  31,  1918. 

The  purpose  of  the  play  was  to  foster  the  spirit  of  patriot- 
ism, and  give  new  interest  to  the  war  gardens  which  the 
children  have  as  a part  of  their  school  work. 

CHARACTERS 


Buddy,  poor  newsboy. 

Mr.  Brown,  Mr.  Smith,  Mrs.  Smith,  Mrs.  Jones,  Mr.  Myers, 
Citizens  of  the  town. 

Lieut.  Burke,  a soldier  back  from  the  trenches. 

Grandpa  Miller,  an  old  citizen  with  much-bent  back,  leaning 
upon  a cane. 

Jack,  a schoolboy  friend  of  Buddy. 

Six  fairies  and  their  queen. 

Seven  elves  and  their  king. 

Liberty,  a tall  girl,  with  light  hair  and  blue  eyes,  and  a good 
speaking  voice.

ACT  I. 

TIME:  Evening  of  a spring  day,  1918. 

PLACE:  A street  in  a western  town. 

(Enter  Mr.  Smith  and  Mr.  Brown  from  opposite  sides.) 

Mr.  Smith:  How  do  you  do,  Mr.  Brown.  Are  you  as  inter- 
ested as  all  the  rest  of  us  in  Liberty  Bonds  ? 

Mr.  Brown:  Surely!  I’m  no  slacker.  I’ve  invested  a 
thousand  dollars  in  government  bonds.  Do  they  interest 
you  also? 

Mr.  Smith:  Certainly!  Everybody  at  our  house  has  a hun- 
dred dollar  bond.  Was  the  Red  Cross  sale  of  last  eve- 
ning a success? 

Mr.  Brown:  Yes,  indeed!  That  rooster  of  mine  brought  fifty- 
five  dollars. 

Mr.  Smith:  You  don’t  say!  Well,  I’m  going  to  donate  some- 
thing too.  Here  comes  Mrs.  Smith  from  the  Red  Cross 
rooms.  By  the  way,  over-feeding  on  good  things  won’t 
spoil  our  health  now-a-days. 

Mr.  Brown:  Well,  hardly!  I feel  that  I’m  in  luck  if  I find 
enough  plain  food  to  satisfy  my  hunger. 

(Enter  Mrs.  Smith  with  a knitting-bag  on  her  arm.) 

Mrs.  Smith:  Well,  Ben!  I thought  you’d  be  home  getting 
supper. 

Mr.  Smith:  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!  0,  no!  I have  to  go  out  for  the 
news. 

(Enter  Mrs.  Jones.) 

Mrs.  Jones:  Good  evening,  all  of  you. 

Others:  Good  evening,  Mrs.  Jones. 

Mrs.  Jones:  Well,  Mrs.  Smith,  anything  new  from  the  Red 
Cross  today? 

Mrs.  Smith:  I heard  that  Mrs.  Vincent  Astor  and  Mrs. 
Riley  are  in  Bordeaux,  France,  cooking  for  some  of  the 
soldiers.  They  serve  1600  men  at  a meal.  (Buddy  enters 
with  papers.  He  remains  near  group,  seeming  interested.) 

Mr.  Smith:  I wish  I were  there  to  get  some  of  the  good 
things. 

Mr.  Brown:  Better  be  thankful  while  you  have  substitute 
bread. 

Mrs.  Smith:  Did  he  tell  you  that  was  all  he  had  to  eat? 
Well,  there’ll  soon  be  some  vegetables  in  the  garden. 

Mrs.  Jones:  Have  you  a garden? 

Mr.  Smith:  I have  put  in  five  acres,  potatoes  and  all. 
(Enter  Lieut.  Burke.) 

Lieut.  Burke:  (Saluting)  How  do  you  do? 

Mr.  Brown:  Well!  if  here  isn’t  one  of  our  boys  back  from 
the  trenches!  (All  shake  hands  with  the  lieutenant.)  How 
does  it  happen,  Dick? 

Lieut.  Burke:  I was  gassed  and  wounded,  so  they've  sent 
me  home  to  build  up  again. 

Mr.  Brown:  Let’s  all  go  to  the  restaurant.  We’ll  give  our

STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


honored  soldier  a good  American  supper  and  hear  him  tell 
his  experiences.  (Buddy  comes  closer  and  offers  the  “Eve- 
ning News”.  Lieut.  Burke  and  Mr.  Smith  buy  papers. 
The  groups  walk  off  the  stage,  talking,  leaving  Buddy 
alone.) 

Buddy:  Oh,  I wish  I could  do  something  to  help  my  country 
in  this  terrible  war.  I wonder  if  I couldn’t  plant  a war 
garden.  If  I only  had  the  ground,  I could  earn  enough 
to  buy  seeds.  (Enter  Mr.  Myers.) 

Mr.  Myers:  Hello,  Buddy.  Have  you  a paper  for  me? 
(Buddy  hands  him  a paper.)  What  makes  you  look  so 
troubled  ? 

Buddy:  I want  to  plant  a war  garden,  but  I haven’t  any 
land. 

Mr.  Myers:  Oh,  if  that’s  all,  I can  easily  make  you  happy. 
I have  some  land  all  ready  to  plant.  Just  come  with  me 
and  we’ll  get  some  seeds  and  you  can  plant  it  this  very  day. 

Buddy:  (Happily.)  O,  thank  you,  Mr.  Myers!  You  are 
very  good.  (They  walk  off  talking.) 

ACT  II— SCENE  I. 

TIME:  Evening  of  the  same  day. 

PLACE:  A meadow  near  the  town. 

(Enter  fairies  dancing  to  music  “Fairies’  Revel”.) 

Fairy  Queen:  My  sympathies  have  gone  out  to  this  young 
boy.  Has  he  planted  his  garden  yet? 

First  Fairy:  (Bowing.)  Yes,  majesty.  From  a green 
shelter  near  by  I watched  him  plant  his  garden  this  after- 
noon. He  seemed  very  happy. 

Queen:  It  pleases  him  to  be  of  service  to  -his  country  in  its 
time  of  need.  He  has  the  true  spirit  of  patriotism.  Let 
us  help  him.  Form  a circle  and  we  will  call  upon  Mother 
Nature  to  aid  him  in  his  undertaking. 

Queen:  (Facing  audience,  recites  the  following,  arms  raised 
in  appeal.) 

Rain  King,  O Rain  King,  so  gentle  and  mild, 

Thou  hast  delight  in  the  plans  of  this  child; 

Send  the  bright  rain  drops,  with  patter  so  light, 

To  quicken  the  plants  through  the  hours  of  the  night. 

Fairies  continue  to  dance.  They  finally  sink  down  gradually 
until  their  faces  are  entirely  hidden.  They  remain  hidden 
until  Elves  have  had  their  sport. 

Enter  Elves  in  fantastic  costumes. 

Elves  dance. 

First  Elf:  They  forgot  to  call  upon  the  Storm  King  and 
the  North  Wind.  They  are  our  friends  and  will  do  our 
bidding.  Ha!  Ha!  Ha! 

Other  Elves:  Ho!  ho!  ho!  He!  he!  he! 

King:  Elfin  men,  shall  we  allow  our  rivals,  the  fairies,  to 
have  their  way  untroubled  in  this?  (Cries  of  “No!  no!”) 
Then  let  us  call  upon  other  agents  to  undo  their  work. 


MINOT,  NORTH  DAKOTA

You  spoke  well  when  you  said  the  fairies  had  overlooked 
the  Storm  King  and  the  North  Wind.  Let  us  call  them 
to  our  aid. 

(They  sing  or  recite  the  following): 

North  Wind,  come  out  of  thy  region  of  ice 
And  blow!  blow!  blow! 

Send  us  a flurry  and  send  us  scurry 
Of  snow!  snow!  snow! 

Heap  it  in  great  piles  and  heap  it  in  drifts 
High!  high!  high! 

Bury  the  plantlets  so  many  feet  deep  that 
They  die!  die!  die!. 

Second  Elf:  Could  we  not  also  sow  some  weeds  to  choke 
the  plants  that  may  chance  to  spring  up? 

Third  Elf:  I know  where  some  such  seed  lies  hidden  from 
last  year’s  weeds 

King:  Away  and  get  it.  (Elf  tumbles  off  the  stage.)  Come, 
men,  let  us  go  to  sow  it  at  once. 

(All  leave.) 

(The  fairies  awaken,  gradually  come  up  and  run  into  circle.) 

First  Fairy:  Alas  for  the  garden!  The  elves  have  had  the 
last  wish  and  it  will  triumph  over  our  good  wishes. 

Queen:  But,  fairies,  there  is  the  South  Wind  ready  to  be- 
friend us,  and  the  Sunshine  can  do  more  than  the  Storm 
King.  (She  raises  her  hands  in  appeal  toward  the  south 
and  recites  the  following  stanzas) : 

South  Wind,  dear  South  Wind, 

Come  now  to  our  aid. 

Bud  is  a good  boy, 

And  works  with  his  spade. 

South  Wind,  0 South  Wind, 

Come  now  to  our  aid; 

Spoil  all  the  bad  plans 
The  sly  elves  have  made. 

(Raises  hands  towards  sky) 

Phoebus,  King  Phoebus,  come  down  from  thy  throne, 
And  enter  thy  chariot  when  morning  has  come. 

Shower  on  Bud’s  garden  a radiance  so  bright. 

That  each  tiny  seed  shall  reach  toward  that  light.

The  garden  green,  the  garden  green 
From  harmful  foes  we’ll  shield, 

And  Buddy’s  bit  shall  be  the  best 
That  Mother  Earth  can  yield; 

For  sunshine  bright  shall  bathe  each  blade 
In  life-instilling  light,

First  Fairy:  Can  we  in  any  other  way  undo  the  evil  work 
of  the  Elves? 

Queen:  Bud  must  fight  with  the  hoe  against  the  weeds

him. 

ACT  III— SCENE  I 
TIME:  A morning  in  June. 

PLACE:  A street  in  the  town. 

(Mr.  Smith  and  Mr.  Brown  enter  from  opposite  sides  of 
the  stage.) 

Mr.  Smith:  Good  morning,  Mr.  Brown. 

Mr.  Brown:  Good  morning.  The  Weather  Man  seems  to 
be  favoring  us  this  year.  I think  he  must  understand  that 
the  country  needs  all  that  can  be  produced. 

Mr.  Smith:  There  is  promise  of  a good  harvest,  and  we  have 
reason  to  be  thankful.  Have  you  heard  of  the  new  way  of 
celebrating  the  Fourth  of  July? 

Mr.  Brown:  I did  hear  a rumor  of  it  yesterday,  but  tell  me 
just  what  it  is  to  be. 

Mr.  Smith:  Oh,  the  main  feature  is  to  be  Liberty  enthroned 
in  the  park.  Gifts  will  be  received  by  her  for  the  soldiers. 
The  idea  is  to  encourage  all  to  give  as  much  as  possible  to 
help  win  the  war. 

Mr.  Brown:  And  who  is  to  impersonate  Liberty? 

Mr.  Smith:  That  has  been  voted  upon  for  some  time.  I 
believe  Miss  St.  John  has  the  highest  number  of  votes. 

Mr.  Brown:  A very  good  choice!  I shall  have  to  look  over 
my  goods  to  see  what  I can  give. 

(Enter  Bud  with  papers.) 

Mr.  Smith:  Hello,  sonny,  bring  me  a paper. 

Bud.  Yes,  sir.  (He  carries  a paper  to  Mr.  Smith.) 

Mr.  Smith:  What  are  YOU  going  to  give  Miss  Liberty? 

Bud:  I have  some  nice  vegetables  in  my  garden.  Will 
they  do? 

Mr.  Smith:  A good  idea! 

Mr.  Brown:  I am  sure  they  will  be  very  acceptable. 

(Mr.  Smith  and  Mr.  Brown  go  off  the  stage  talking.) 

Bud.  Pm  so  glad  the  vegetables  are  fine.  I’ll  gather  the 
best  I can  find.  (Exit.) 

SCENE  II. 

TIME:  Afternoon  of  July  4. 

PLACE:  A park  in  the  town. 

(Liberty  is  seen  on  a throne.  People  are  grouped  at  the 
sides.  Bud  and  Jack  enter  in  front.  Bud  carries  a basket 
of  vegetables.) 

Jack:  0,  see!  there  is  Liberty! 

Bud:  How  beautiful  she  is! 

Jack:  Just  look!  They  are  giving  her  their  presents!

Listen!  Mrs.  Jones  is  going  to  speak. 

Mrs.  Jones:  (Holding  up  a sweater  which  she  offers  to  Li- 
berty.) I have  no  wealth  to  offer,  but  this  represents  time 
and  labor.  It  is  my  earnest  wish  that  it  may  help  some 
dear  soldier  boy. 

Liberty:  Thank  you,  Mrs.  Jones.  I am  sure  it  will  be 
greatly  appreciated.  (Liberty  bows  and  Mrs.  Jones  passes 
on  to  the  other  side.) 

Bud  to  Jack:  There’s  Grandpa  Miller!  I wonder  what  he’ll 
give. 

Mr.  Miller:  (Leaning  on  a cane  and  limping  up  to  Liberty.) 
Sweet  Liberty,  it  is  for  you  our  soldiers  are  fighting.  I 
am  glad  to  offer  this  bit  to  the  good  cause.  (Hands  her  a 
check.) 

Liberty:  (Holding  up  the  check.)  Five  hundred  dollars  in 
the  hands  of  the  Red  Cross  Society  can  do  much  for  our 
soldiers.  I thank  you. 

Bud  to  Jack:  0,  Jack!  my  gift  is  so  small. 

Jack:  Don’t  worry.  They  surely  need  good  food.  See! 

there’s  Mrs.  Langston!  Let’s  move  up  closer.  (They  walk 
towards  Liberty.) 

Mrs.  Langston:  (Offering  half  a dozen  pairs  of  socks.) 
Those  poor  boys  shall  not  suffer  from  trench  feet  if  I can 
help  them.  With  my  best  wishes!  (She  hands  them  to 
Liberty  and  moves  on.) 

Liberty:  It  is  the  mothers  and  sisters  who  must  think  of  the 
soldiers’  comfort.  What  would  we  do  without  their  help! 

A Little  School  Girl:  (Offering  some  children’s  garments.) 
We  are  so  sorry  for  the  poor  children  who  have  lost  their 
warm  clothing  and  good  homes.  We  want  to  help  them. 

Liberty:  And  you  surely  do  help  them  and  make  them  hap- 
py. Many,  many  thanks. 

(Jack  and  Bud  advance.) 

Bud:  (Holding  up  the  basket  to  Liberty.)  Dear  Liberty, 
my  gift  is  the  smallest  of  all,  but  my  love  for  my  country 
is  very  great. 

Liberty:  (Holding  up  the  basket  in  both  hands.)  It  is  spir- 
its such  as  yours  that  will  conquer  all  foes.  Love  and 
self-sacrificing  labor  have  won  the  greatest  victories  al- 
ways. Never  have  a fear,  for  we  must  win,  since  we  are 
so  united  in  this  spirit  of  devotion.  (Curtain.)

WAR  WORK 

RED  CROSS 

The  desire -to  serve  our  country  efficiently  is  uppermost  in 
the  minds  of  all.  The  Normal  believing  this  desire  should  be 
developed  and  promoted  throughout  all  communities,  grasped 
the  'opportunity  offered  through  active  work  in  the  National 
Red  Cross  Society.  We  believe  it  has  been  worth  while  not 
only  because  744  articles  were  finished  before  June  and  455 
representing  3002  hours  during  the  Summer  Session,  but 
because  of  its  educational  value.  Many  girls  have  received 
instructions  on  the  sewing-machine,  the  making  of  seams, 
button-holes,  etc.,  on  garments  as  well  as  knitting  that  they 
could  not  have  had  otherwise.  Then,  too,  the  spirit  of  co- 
operation has  possessed  all,  not  only  among  the  students,  but 
also  between  students  and  faculty.  The  cooperation  in  Red 
Gross  work  has  drawn  us  all  together  and  weTiave  all  pulled 
as  one  unit  to  help  in  our  small  way  to  best  serve  humanity. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  year  the  Christian  Associations  of 
the  school  devoted  their  entire  meeting  time  to  the  making  of 
Red  Cross  articles,  especially  the  sewing  work  done  in  the 
Surgical  Dressing  Department.  The  time  was  cheerfully 
given  and  the  work  eagerly  done  while  from  the  heart  of  each 
Christian  worker  went  a prayer  that  the  articles  might  relieve 
the  pam  and  suffering  across  the  sea.  By  the  close  of  school 
they  had  contributed  the  making  of  54  Bed  Socks,  12  Ab- 
dominal BandageS,  132  Scultetus  Bandages  and  24  Triangular 
Bandages. 

As  the  work  brought  on  increased  interest  to  those  in  the 
various  Christian  Associations,  the  girls  began  to  realize 
many  wasted  minutes  at  the  Dormitory.  The  knitting  was 
taken  up  by  a large  group  and  supervised  by  Miss  Detrick. 
Their  results  proved  to  them  that  there  was  a wonderful 
opportunity  for  home  service  if  each  one  made  use  of  the 
minutes  generally  wasted  during  each  day.  During  the  year 
they  completed  30  sweaters,  4 pair  knitted  socks,  4 pair 
wristlets,  and  5 dozen  various  bandages. 

While  all  organizations  and  groups  were  doing  this  relief 
work  the  Home  Economics  Department  grasped  the  wonderful 
opportunity  to  show  woman’s  part  of  today  and  tomorrow  in 
aiding  our  government.  The  cooking  classes  studied  dili- 
gently the  conservation  recipes  and  the  sewing  classes  de- 
veloped their  knowledge  and  skill,  in  making  besides  the 
regular  work  18  bed  socks,  24  scultetus  bandanges,  24  tri- 
angular bandages,  24  bed  shirts  and  24  bath  robes. 

As  the  time  came  for  so  many  of  the  young  men  who  were 
Normal  students  to  give  their  services  to  answer  the  call,  the 
desire  to  help  more  in  so  worthy  a work  resulted  in  the  set-

SUMMER  SESSION,  1918 


MINOT,  NORTH  DAKOTA

ting  aside  on  the  regular  program  one  hour  a day  for  Red 
Cross  work.  The  entire  body  of  students  were  happy  to  give 
of  their  energies,  and  in  the  few  remaining  days  made:  127 
operating  masks,  87  property  bags,  30  comfort  kits,  27  house- 
wives, 45  day  shirts,  and  17  pairs  knitted  socks. 

The  plan  of  using  one  hour  from  the  regular  daily  program 
during  the  spring  proved  so  satisfactory  that  the  faculty 
planned  the  summer  program  with  the  same  arrangement. 
The  summer  students  entered  the  work  with  a spirit  and  zeal 
that  proved  them  worthy  Americans.  The  work  was  divided 
into  a kitting  section,  a Belgian  Relief  garment  section,  and 
a Hospital  garment  section.  The  student  body  was  divided 
into  sections  which  rotated  so  that  each  student  had  an  op- 
portunity to  do  each  kind  of  work,  thus  making  her  an  ef- 
ficient leader  when  she  returns  to  her  community  to  teach. 
The  total  amount  of  work  completed  by  the  summer  students, 
in  addition  to  their  regular  school  work  was  90  Woman’s 
Chemise,  38  Belgian  Shirts;  39  Belgian  Nightgowns,  56  Bel- 
gian Underskirts,  54  Helpless  Case  Shirts,  4 Day  Shirts,  18 
pair  Bandaged  Foot  Socks  and  160  pair  Knitted  Socks. 

A new  feature  of  the  Annual  Field  and  Track  Meet  was 
the  Red  Cross  Contest,  in  which  all  the  students  not  entered 
for  other  events  might  add  to  the  sum  total  of  points  gained 
for  their  county  by  hours  of  work  done  for  the  Red  Cross.  In 
four  and  a half  days  475  hours  of  work  was  done  by  45  peo- 
ple, making  114  completed  garments. 

The  Normal  desired  to  work  hand  in  hand  with  the  com- 
munity and  opened  a room  for  the  use  of  the  Red  Cross  Ladies 
in  the  Northwest  part  of  Minot.  They  came  once  a week 
to  carry  on  their  community  work.  Some  of  them  had  their 
sewing  machines  brought  to  the  school  and  donated  their  use 
to  the  Normal  Red  Cross  when  the  city  auxiliary  was  not 
in  session. 

NURSING  CLASS 

As  the  Doctors  are  called  to  the  colors  the  individual  is 
made  more  responsible,  not  for  his  own  health  alone,  but  for 
those  about  him.  The  teacher  will  be  called  upon  to  care  for 
emergencies  more  than  ever  before.  In  order  that  the 
Normal  School  graduates  might  be  able  to  handle  such  cases, 
arrangements  were  made  with  Dr.  A.  D.  McCannel  of  Minot 
to  conduct  a class  in  Home  Nursing.  This  class  was  taught 
by  a qualified  Red  Cross  Nurse  who  had  had  good  practical 
experience  in  the  work.  All  regular  attendants  of  the  class 
who  passed  the  government  examination  at  the  end  of  the 
course  received  a National  Red  Cross  Certificate  in  First  Aid 
which  entitles  them  to  go  “Over  Seas”  as  a Nurse’s  Assistant. 
There  were  about  thirty  young  ladies  in  the  class,  some  of 
whom  plan  to  qualify  for  work  abroad.

STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


THE  JUNIOR  RED  CROSS 

Last  February,  during  the  Junior  Red  Cross  Drive,  the 
teachers  of  the  Model  School  made  a special  effort  to  instruct 
the  children  about  the  work  of  the  Red  Cross  and  to  interest 
them  in  becoming  members  and  in  helping  as  much  as 
possible. 

The  results  were  very  gratifying.  In  a short  time  the  re- 
quired amount  of  twenty-five  cents  per  pupil  was  collected 
in  every  grade  in  the  school  and  the  different  rooms  were 
organized  into  separate  Red  Cross  units.  The  interest  was 
so  keen  that  the  children  did  not  abate  their  efforts  for  raising 
money  even  after  the  amount  necessary  for  organization  had 
been  reached. 

A part  of  the  regular  school  time  has  been  devoted  to  Red 
Cross  work  suited  to  the  age  and  ability  of  the  pupils  in  the 
different  grades.  The  children  in  the  first  grade  strung  but- 
tons on  safety  pins  and  put  needles  of  different  sizes  into 
small  pieces  of  flannel.  These  were  for  the  soldiers’  com- 
fort kits.  The  second,  third  and  fourth  grades  pieced  and 
tied  crib  comforters  and  the  girls  of  the  fifth,  sixth,  seventh 
and  eighth  grades  made  children’s  undergarments  under  the 
direction  of  Miss  Bryson.  This  was  all  for  the  Red  Cross 
relief  work. 

Many  of  the  older  children  have  learned  to  knit  and  are 
doing  their  part  in  supplying  sweaters  and  socks  for  the 
soldiers,  while  the  younger  children  have  collected  scraps  of 
soft  leather  to  make  warm  linings  for  the  vests. 

During  the  summer  school,  work  was  continued  in  the  after- 
noon as  the  regular  class  work  took  up  the  full  morning 
session.  Altogether  the  garments  made  for  the  relief  work 
totaled  84.  Some  of  these  little  folks  are  very  ardent  work- 
ers and  not  only  carried  on  the  work  provided  by  the  school 
auxiliary,  but  obtained  yarn  from  the  Minot  Chapter  and  had 
Red  Cross  work  to  do  at  home.  Several  have  earned  the  first 
Red  Cross  emblem. 

The  money  collected  for  the  Red  Cross  was  not  the  only 
benefit  derived  from  this  drive.  Its  influence  upon  the  child- 
ren themselves  was  marked.  It  stimulated  the  habits  of 
thrift,  industry,  unselfishness,  the  power  of  sustained  effort 
and  of  cooperation  in  working  with  others  till  the  different 
tasks  were  complete.  This  can  not  help  but  leave  a lasting 
influence  for  good  in  the  lives  of  the  children. 

WAR  ADDRESSES 

Much  valuable  information  on  the  Great  War  has  been 
brought  direct  to  the  school  through  local  speakers  engaged 
in  War  activities,  and  through  men  delegated  by  the  Govern- 
ment for  that  purpose.  These  addresses  inspired  the  stu- 


MINOT,  NORTH  DAKOTA 


17 


dents  to  further  investigation  of  issues  previously  hazy  or 
indistinct  in  their  minds,  and  helped  them  to  attain  correct 
mental  attitudes  and  convictions  on  the  war  and  its  causes, 
so  necessary  for  prospective  teachers. 

Prominent  among  these  speakers  were  Dr.  Hastings  H. 
Hart  and  Attorney  Cashman  of  the  National  Security  League, 
New  York  City.  Lieutenant  Hill  and  Major  Brown  of  the 
Canadian  Army  recounted  typical  incidents  of  the  battle  line, 
as  did  Lieutenant  Bruno  Roselli  of  the  Italian  Army,  who 
also  presented  the  work  of  Italy  in  the  present  conflict,  while 
interest  in  the  work  of  the  Red  Cross  was  greatly  augmented 
by  Dr.  A.  D.  McCannel  of  Minot. 

WAR  FUNDS 

The  spirit  with  which  the  school  has  responded  to  the  calls 
made  by  the  Government  to  aid  in  successfully  conducting  its 
part  in  the  Great  War,  may  be  said  to  reflect  in  no  uncertain 
way  the  spirit  of  this  northwestern  section  of  North  Dakota. 

Although  the  enrollment  has  not  exceeded  one  hundred  sixty 
since  the  first  Liberty  Loan  was  floated,  with  a faculty  of 
but  twenty  members,  and  a proportionate  number  of  other 
school  officials,  a sum  totaling  more  than  five  thousand  dol- 
lars has  been  subscribed  through  these  different  sources. 
Naturally  the  Liberty  Loans  totaled  the  largest  part  of  the 
sum,  while  the  War  Savings  Stamps,  the  Red  Cross,  Y.  M.  C. 
A.  and  K.  C.  were  recipients  of  sums  that  bespoke  the  interest 
of  the  school  in  the  various  War  activities. 

COMMUNITY  SINGS 

“Give  me  singing  men,”  said  a famous  general,  “and  I will 
give  you  victory.”  Make  America  a singing  nation,  and  we 
will  have  a nation  whose  morale  can  not  be  broken.  In- 
stinctively northwestern  North  Dakota  has  seemed  to  recog- 
nize this  fact,  for  never  has  there  been  such  a demand  for 
community  singing  as  in  this,  the  first  year  of  our  participa- 
tion in  the  Great  War. 

Mrs.  Simpson,  Director  of  the  Department  of  Music,  ac- 
companied by  Miss  McCulloch  of  the  Model  School  Faculty, 
has  been  busy  filling  engagements  as  a leader  of  community 
singing  at  patriotic  gatherings,  Red  Cross  and  Liberty  Loan 
Drives,  etc.  On  the  average  at  least  one  engagement  has 
been  filled  each  week  during  the  school  year,  not  including  re- 
turn engagements.  Everywhere  the  demand  has  been  made, 
“Teach  us  the  songs  ‘our  boys’  are  singing” — and  not  only 
these  songs  but  those  patriotic  airs  and  ballads  which  have 
been  popular  with  generations  of  Americans  have  been  eager- 
ly learned. 

At  the  regular  Wednesday  morning  “sings”  at  the  Normal 
School  the  students  who  will  become  teachers  have  been 


18 


STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


taught  the  sopgs  which  have  proved  most  popular  at  these 
“community  sings”  and  thru  their  work  in  various  towns  and 
country  sections,  the  school  feels  that  it  is  doing  something 
toward  keeping  up  the  courage  and  spirit  of  the  community 
and  helping  to  create  a “singing  nation” 

SCHOOL  GARDENS 

Early  in  May  the  Model  School  gardens  were  laid  out. 
They  were  prepared  and  planted  by  the  children  under  the 
direction  of  the  instructor  of  agriculture  and  the  critic  teach- 
ers. It  was  found  upon  measurement  that  each  child’s  al- 
lotment was  equivalent  to  the  amount  of  land  required  for 
enrollment  in  the  United  States  School  Garden  Army,  about 
one  square  rod  for  each  child.  This  led  to  the  organization 
of  the  War  Garden  Clubs.  In  the  latter  part  of  May  a 
Girls’  Club  and  a Boys’  Club  were  organized  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  local  leader  appointed  by  the  Co-operation  Ex- 
tension Department  of  the  State  Agricultural  College.  The 
gardens  have  .been  kept  up  as  a part  of  the  regular  school  ac- 
tivities through  the  summer  and  are  in  a flourishing  condition. 
The  outlook  for  a good  harvest  of  vegetables  is  encouraging 

LIBERTY  LOAN  ESSAYS 

The  Model  School  Children  from  the  Fourth  Grade  up  took 
part  in  the  essay  writing  contest  carried  forward  by  the 
Woman’s  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  The  exercise  was  a valu- 
able one  in  expression  and  furnished  an  opportunity  to  spread 
a knowledge  of  the  government  needs  and  to  inculcate  les- 
sons of  patriotism.  The  best  paper  in  each  grade  was  award- 
ed a recognition  certificate  by  the  Woman’s  Committee. 

FOOD  DEMONSTRATIONS 
FOOD  ADMINISTRATION 

The  school  year  just  closed  has  offered  the  teacher  of 
Home  Economics  rare  opportunities  for  service.  New  occa- 
sions have  taught  her  new  duties.  Ancient  goods — in  this 
case  recipes — have  not  availed  in  these  times  of  conservation 
and  substitution.  To  every  instructor  has  come  the  house- 
wife’s Macedonian  call,  “Come  over  and  help  us.” 

The  Normal  School  has  endeavored  to  do  its  part  in  the 
campaign  of  food  conservation.  During  the  past  summer 
the  instructors  in  Home  Economics  made  an  effort  to  in- 
terest the  housewives  of  Minot  in  canning  and  drying  fruits 
and  vegetables.  To  this  end,  neighborhood  clubs  were  formed 
in  various  sections  of  the  city.  Weekly  meetings  were  held 
and  instruction  given  in  the  cold-pack  method  of  canning  and 
also  in  the  drying  of  foods.  Two  boys  and  girls  clubs  were 
also  formed  and  instruction  given  in  the  preservation  of  fruits

and  vegetables  for  winter  use.  The  department  issued  a 
pamphlet  which  gave  concise  directions  for  canning  and  dry- 
ing. The  summer’s  work  closed  with  an  interesting  and  in- 
structive exhibit  of  canned  and  dried  fruits  and  vegetables 
and  war  breads,  which  was  held  in  the  Main  building. 

During  the  Fall  term  several  afternoons  were  devoted  to, 
demonstrating  conservation  recipes,  particularly  meat  sub- 
stitutes and  war  breads.  Thru  the  co-operation  of  the  Camp- 
bell Mercantile  Company  these  demonstrations  were  given  in 
their  store  on  Main  Street  and  thus  a large  number  of  people 
were  reached.  This  number  was  further  increased  thru  the 
courtesy  of  the  Daily  News  in  printing  the  recipes  used. 
Upon  the  invitation  of  the  society’s  president,  the  uses  of 
cornmeal  were  demonstrated  before  the  members  of  the 
Methodist  Aid  Society. 

To  meet  the  present  day  needs  many  changes  were  made 
in  the  courses  of  Food  Study  and  Cookery. 

Especial  attention  was  given  to  the  subjects  of  canning, 
conservation  of  fats  and  sugar  and  the  use  of  substitute 
flours.  The  outlines  issued  by  the  United  States  Food  Ad- 
ministration were  adapted  to  the  needs  of  the  classes  and 
used  wherever  possible.  Course  I,  Food  and  the  War,  a lec- 
ture course,  was  given  to  the  members  of  the  graduating 
class.  At  the  close  of  the  course,  fifty  students  received 
certificates  from  the  United  States  Food  Administrator.  The 
laboratory  course  designated  as  Course  III  was  followed 
by  the  members  of  the  advanced  class  in  cooking.  They  too 
received  government  certificates. 

Every  effort  was  made  to  make  the  Department  of  Home 
Economics  a center  for  the  spreading  of  information  and  in- 
spiration toward  saving  food  that  we  might  give  it  to  our 
allies.
